Khloé Kardashian and Lamar Odom have decided to call off their divorce.
The two both signed divorce papers in July but, due to a file backlog, the judge had yet to sign off, so the pair are still legally married.
Khloé’s attorney went into court yesterday and asked the judge to withdraw the divorce petition that was awaiting a judge’s signature. The judge granted the petition and the divorce case is now over.
A source adds, “Khloé thinks this was the right thing to do right now.”
Paul Walker’s daughter is suing Porsche, claiming the sports car that her father was in when he was killed two years ago had numerous design defects.
The lawsuit filed Monday by Meadow Rain Walker seeks unspecified damages for defects that her lawyers claim kept the actor trapped in the Porsche Carrera GT when it crashed and burst into flames in November 2013.
The suit claims the car, which was marketed as a street-legal race car, lacked a proper stability control system and safeguards to protect occupants and keep it from catching fire after a collision.
(Walker’s death occurred on a break in the filming of “Furious 7,” the latest sequel in the “Fast & Furious” franchise.)
The suit claims the fire didn’t erupt for 1 minute and 20 seconds after impact, but Paul was helplessly trapped. When the fire broke out, Paul was still alive. The suit alleges, “Paul Walker breathed soot into his trachea while the Porsche Carrera GT burned.”
Meadow’s lawyers claim Porsche knew the Carrera GT had “a history of instability and control issues.”
